An overhang at a Rogers gas station collapsed onto a car because of heavy ice on top of the structure.

Jose Hernandez had just filling up his car's gas tank when the roof came down. He was able to walk away from the scene.

"He was shaken and stuff," said witness Gerardo Morales. "I think he lost a lot of blood."

But paramedics said that aside from a head laceration, Hernandez was well enough to walk home from the ordeal. He said the first thing he wanted to do was to tell his wife and child that he was OK and then planned to go to a hospital to get checked out.

Workers at the EZ Mart next to the gas station said it was lucky that Hernandez was the only one under the overhang. They said they noticed the ice on the roof and tried to keep people from going underneath it.

"There was a bow, you know, and we have covered that and put cones out so nobody would drive under that section," said manager Pat Gregory.

Rogers Mayor Steve Womack said he's concerned about this time of roof collapse happening again.

"We're going to have to do some kind of strategic assessment of other canopies in town to make sure we don't have a load-bearing issue," Womack said.

He said flat roofs are the most dangerous because water from melting ice can pool in one spot and weigh the structure down.

Gregory said the EZ Mart shut down its electricity after the collapse in order to prevent an explosion. He said the store would remain open but he wasn't immediately sure what to do about the damaged canopy at the gas pumps.
